Masters of Illusions Collection by Glam Polish

The Masters of Illusions collection by Glam Polish is like something I have never seen before! I've seen multi-chromes and duo-chrome polishes and glitters, with shimmer and holo. But I have never seen it like this before. Opening up the polishes I had no idea what to expect. My first impression was something like: "Ohh, sparkly!" which I think is an appropriate first statement for this collection. Then I has I had time to take in the polish in all of its sparkly glory and my train of thought went something like this: "Sparkly silver, with blue, or is it green? Or is it blue with silver holo and green shimmer? It's silver. No, it's blue. I don't know my colours anymore!" Yep. Something that you learn in pre-school, and here I am sitting at my desk and I have no idea what the colour of half the polishes in front of me are. Thank goodness that Rachel sent me a handy little e-mail with the polish descriptions (what would I do without her?). So the descriptions of the polish are Rachel's descriptions. My descriptions would basically consist of me telling you "Pretty sparkly polish" nine times over like a total newbie.

Masters of Illusion Collection

Before getting into the individual swatches, a little about the collection as a whole. The formulas are fantastic! For each of my swatches I used three thin coats plus a glossy top coat (as usual). When applying the polish I was able to easily get a nice crisp line around my cuticles with out them being flooded by glitter. Meaning that I hardly had to do any clean up at all. The polishes also felt really nice when on. You know how sometimes glitter polishes can be really thick and feel heavy and gluggy on your nails, even when dry? Then they chip off really easily in big clumps. I found that these felt really nice and smooth on and had a good wearing time without chipping off. It didn't feel thick and heavy on my nails, which I wasn't expecting. So thumbs up for fantastic formula, application, and wearability!Ok, now what you really want to see... The swatches!"Now You See Me" - Holographic base with ultra holo glitter, holo microglitter, sterling silver flakies and sparkly microflakies.

I took the time to record some action shots in direct sunlight. I didn't want the videos getting too long so I broke it up into three separate parts. You can see each part on my YouTube channel. You can also click directly on the pictures below to take you right to each video.
